RE: Re: Post IOUG impressions

April,
I would like to carry this one step further..
As a paying member of IOUG I would think that I would have the option
to get the CD even if I could not attend the conference. Heck I'll even
send them a blank CDROM-R it only cost me 19.5 cents.
There are a lot of valid reasons where a person is not able to attend
the conferences. I was at least there in spirit.

Personally think all attendees, regardless of plane schedules or other
plans, should have the option to get a CD.

I went to the ioug webpage. anyway to buy that CD?
